Don't know how much time has passed

She picked up the magazine, having a rare moment to herself and started to scan through the pages. It was when she was about halfway through the magazine that she saw her own name and she felt her heart stop.

Sure enough, she was indeed seeing her name in print, and the story that followed was not in the least bit flattering. Just how long had this article been planned and why, with all of the new people around her, to protect her from this sort of thing, wasn't she told about it?

Passing the clerk along the three dollars for the piece of trash in front of her, she made her way out of the store and out onto the street. She caught sight of the nearest bench and made her way over to it. She had so much planned for today, so many things she wanted to get done before she was due back at the studio for the next taping of the show she was on, but now, as she sat looking at the magazine, she found all she wanted to do was find out what was being said about her.

The Real Life of Stacy Keibler of WWE Fame

Right away she knew this wasn't going to be any good. Sure she had not done a whole lot of things in her life that she was worried about but she did know that the tabloids had a way of making something innocent look like it was a mortal sin and that was the last thing she needed or wanted to see.

She scanned the article slowly, taking the whole idea of it in and let her mind get lost in the writings.

With the appearance of a WWE superstar on a much talked about ABC show, we figured we should look into her background and find out just what Stacy Keibler might be hiding. What we didn't expect was to find that what actually happened in her time with the WWE to be so dramatic and filled with pain.

Stacy started early with a career in the WCW which has now been bought out by the WWE owner Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He took the young lady under his wing and used her, to the best of her ability, which at the time of this writing was slim to none, and made her into a household name. Or at the very least a name that people thought of when they thought of televised prostitutes.

She began a relationship with Andrew Martin, who went by the ring name Test and who was originally from Canada. After a few years together they decided that they were not suitable and they broke up. It was then that the young woman began a relationship with a young up and comer named Gregory Helms. He has been known to use the monikers of The Hurricane, and Shane Helms, a mild mannered reporter, a superman rip off.

Things seemed at that point to quiet down for the young Keibler as their relationship basically went under the radar but at the time of this printing, we have since spoken to the young man in question and he let us in on a few things we might not have known about Stacy.

"She walked away from the company and from me without a second glance. She was only worried about her career in the Hollywood scene the entire time and is not worth the money the WWE paid her when she was employed with them."

She stopped reading the article then, more taken aback by what Shane had been quoted as saying about her then about the other trash they had managed to dig up. She had skimmed the parts about her growing up and her parents relationship and the like, more interested in what they had found out about her personal life now then anything else.

Had Shane really said those things recently? And why would he do that? She knew deep inside that she had hurt him. She knew more then ever now since the day he came to see her in New York at the Regis show. She had pushed him away further then and he had been hurt when he walked away but she never in a million years thought that he would say those things about her.

'Not worth the money the WWE paid her?'

Surely Shane would not have something so cold like that, or at least if he had then he would have called her and told her that they had taken him the wrong way. She didn't want to believe for a second he would do this to her, to their child, the one that he knew nothing about. Surely this had to be a misprint or a bunch of lies.

She pulled out her cell phone then and dialed the number that she knew by heart. Sure it was long distance, but she no longer cared. She needed answers and she would not be able to move on with her day until she got them. He answered instantly and she sighed with relief. At least he was still able to answer calls from her.

"Shane, how could you?"

He didn't say anything for a few moments and with the silence that ensued, Stacy knew that he had indeed said those things and he was afraid to talk about it because she had found out and was mad at him. He had always been that way with her, afraid to admit to what he had done wrong because it might make her hate him. While she had never hated him before, it was taking all her energy not to right at that moment.

"What do you expect from me Stacy? They came and hit me up right after you broke my heart. Of course I said those things then. It doesn't mean I even believe them though."

He had a point and she knew it. She had been the one to run away and if it had been her on the end of this story like Shane was, she surely would have said something far worse, something that could have broken Shane down for good. But it wasn't her on the other end of this and it was Shane. Could she really blame him for what he had said? When it might just be true?

"I just had to know if you really said those things. Sorry for the bother."

She was about to hang up when she heard him call out rather loudly through the phone not too. She put the phone back to her ear and just listened.

"Stacy I can't make you come back to me, I know that now more then ever but in order for me to really move on and forget what you mean to me, I need you to tell me just why it is that you walked away in the first place. The real reason and not the lie you want me to believe."

Did she dare tell him this now? Did she bring up the fact that she was carrying his child and her real reasons for running away from him? Or did she continue on with her life the way it was, magazine article or not and forget that the young man in Carolina didn't exist?

"You know why I did it Shane? I did it for the same reason you said those things to the reporter. You and I just never worked together. I told you that in New York and I am telling you again now. I can't believe what you have done to me and to what we had Shane and I will never forget it."

She slammed the phone closed and let out a huge breath and a sigh. She had covered her bases again and now she hoped that would finally be the end of it and he would leave it be. Surely now he couldn't really think there was more to her leaving then there really was right?
